I ill also like to chip in this. The use of "used to" it is used for something you no longer do or do a lot in the past e.g I "used to," slaughter Ram on new year days...√ correct This shows you no longer slaughter again Rather tham saying "I used to eat cake on mondays" intending it to mean an everyday activity.× wrong Instead you say I do eat cake on mondays√ meaning you do it continously. 1 Like |

Funny thread with funny "grammarians". Chicagoesontop: It's "I love people who know. ...." . Happy New Year! dancok: "I'm" or "I am" starts a sentence and not "am". Now, don't tell me it's a shortened version cause it's simply ridiculous. Happy New Year to you too! |

Chicagoesontop: It can't be true that graduates don't know these things. I make a lot of mistakes, 95% are due to being in a hurry or the typing prompts you have in smartphones. I guess most people know. |

Chicagoesontop:grammarian, a part of your grammar lacks concord: "I Love People Who Knows How To Use English." It should be- I Love People Who "Know" not "Knows" |
